74 Leonard Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

The six-story commercial building at 74 Leonard Street in Tribeca, owned by Clp 74 Leonard Llc, has been experiencing persistent water-related issues throughout 2024. Most notably, four separate reports of mold and a water leak complaint occurred in July and August 2024, with one of these incidents resulting in an open violation regarding a leaking ceiling in Penthouse B.

The building currently has multiple open violations related to water leaks, including one affecting the public hall stairs on the 5th story, and several external low pressure inspection violations from 2018 through 2023 that remain active. Recent inspections in 2024 also identified several maintenance issues requiring attention, including the need to paint and properly repair various ceilings in public areas and address fire safety material concerns.

The building, constructed in 1865, has undergone various inspections and received multiple permits for work in recent years, with records showing consistent rodent control compliance between 2010 and 2018, and no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years. Tenant safety inspections conducted in 2020 did not reveal any violations, and while there have been multiple mold-related complaints, inspections generally found no violations warranting citations. The property has active obligations to address water-related maintenance issues as evidenced by the open violations and multiple complaints, suggesting ongoing challenges with water management and building maintenance despite some repairs having been completed, as indicated by the closure of certain violations through proper certification.
